However, Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has been bullish about signing a new right-back by this weekend and he could very well be talking about the Gers captain.

Via the Daily Record on 19 July, he said: “Our plan B (after Meunier’s departure) was ready and we took action immediately. Our new right-back will arrive in a day or two. Our only thought is to create a team that makes the fans happy, stands tall on the field and fights. Our fans should not worry. Trabzonspor will fight for the top.

“Today or tomorrow, Trabzonspor will complete the right-back transfer. We are planning to make 5-6 more transfers. We aim to complete 2-3 of them in the next 2-3 days.”

Rangers must rope in a new right-back to compete with Dujon Sterling

Gers must consider bringing in a new right-back to compete with Dujon Sterling as Tavernier’s departure would leave a significant gap in the squad, both in terms of leadership and on-field performance.

Sterling, while promising, is relatively inexperienced at the top level and may not be ready to fill Tavernier’s boots immediately.

Competition for places is vital for maintaining high performance levels and pushing players to improve.

A new right-back would provide this competition for Sterling, potentially elevating his game and ensuring that the team has a strong option should Sterling need to be rested or if he suffers an injury.

The new signing would also bring fresh perspectives and skills to the team, enhancing tactical flexibility and squad depth.

This would also particularly be beneficial in the event of a long season with multiple competitions.

In terms of how Gers can go about this, the club should focus on identifying players who not only have the necessary skills but also fit into the team’s style of play and ethos.

This could involve scouting players from other leagues who have shown promise or even looking within the Scottish league for talents who could make the step up.

In other Rangers news, business is expected to move quickly as Gers aim to beat Celtic to sign a Euro 2024 player.
